Steps of Joy Under the Stars

How feet glide and sway gracefully in time.

Beneath the starry night sky,

Joy moves forward in steps.

Red nose and bright eyes,

Dancing under the big top,

Laughter fills the air.

Open your mind
To the world all around,
Beyond the boundaries of self,
There’s richness to be found.

Step into another’s shoes,
Embrace their point of view,
See the world through their eyes,
Feel the joys and sorrows, too.

Experience their moments,
Let their stories resonate,
Learn from every heart you touch,
And let compassion cultivate.

For in this shared existence,
Empathy’s a precious gain,
And in understanding others,
You will grow, and love remains.
